Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014106286A1] The present invention relates to manipulation and handling of biological materials and in one form provides apparatus for micromanipulation of biological material, comprising a channel for accommodating biological material and allowing passage of liquid treatment solutions, the apparatus comprising a two part construction wherein two portions of the apparatus are adapted to be heat sealed with a secondary material intermediate the two portions prior to a vitrification process step. A system for vitrification of a biological specimen is also provided comprising one or combination of a software operable means for controlling the temperature environment; a software operable means for controlling fluid dispense volume and velocity and aspiration volume and velocity for the application of liquid treatment solutions to the biological specimen, and; a software operable means for controlling protocol time.
